Last week SMU extended an offer to California quarterback Jesse Scroggins, but that doesn't mean they don't have their eyes on other 2010 gunslingers. Is this Georgia gunslinger still hearing from SMU? Does he want to come to the Hilltop? Find out all the answers inside PonyStampede.com!

Last week SMU extended an offer to California quarterback Jesse Scroggins, but that doesn't mean they don't have their eyes on other 2010 gunslingers. It still appears that Georgia quarterback Nash Nance is very high on the SMU board.

"We are staying in a lot of contact with them through written letters and emails. Hopefully if everything goes well and they like me, they will offer," stated Nance to PonyStampede.com. "We are planning on visiting out there during my spring break. We will be there sometime from April 6th through the 12th. My aunt lives in Highland Park so I'm still very much interested in them."

Nance, who played at Darlington High School (Roma, GA) last season, transferred to Calhoun to able to get himself throwing in a spread offense. The move will definitely help his stats. Last season he only threw a little over 800 yards in Darlington's run happy scheme.

"He throws the ball extremely well and he is a smart kid. I have known him for a couple years because he lives in the same town that we are in, and he is a good boy," said Coach Hal Lamb. "We are extremely excited to have him."

Lamb should be excited. Considered inexperienced at the quarterback and tailback spots last season, the Yellowjackets still finished the season 12-3 overall before losing 41-25 to Budford, GA at the Georgia Dome.

"Everyone has been very accepting of me and I love it at CHS. As far as the QB situation, I can only control what I do and how hard I work. I believe that the coaches and players see how hard I work and the hours I put in to make myself a better QB--from the weightlifting, to the early morning throwing sessions, to the film room," said Nance to Scout.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst Burke Hayes. "The thing I do know is Coach Lamb will play the best player that will help his team win ballgames, period! Life always has surprises and ups and downs. My Father always tells me to work."

"I could definitely see myself playing there (SMU) one day if they did offer me," said Nance. "I have a great work ethic and I think I could come in there after some hard work and try to start for them eventually."

So what is appealing about SMU to Nance?

"The offense is a really fine offense for a quarterback. They throw the ball so much. I love that. It would be fun for any quarterback. "Also because my aunt lives near there, I wouldn't feel like I'm to far way from my family."

as hard as you can to be the best, and that the rest will take care of itself. I do know the work ethic I have in football will carry over in life. I just can't wait until spring practice!"

PonyStampede.com will have more Nash Nance updates as they become available.
